This year for my birthday, I’m doing something a little different… and honestly, a little selfish.

I’m usually the last person to ask for anything for myself, but this year has been rough, and I’ve realized I need to do something that fills my cup a bit. So I’m inviting everyone to do an act of kindness.

Instead of gifts, I’m asking for two things that would make the biggest impact on both me and the work I love:

1. Help me pack 50 hygiene kits

These kits will go directly to our partners who serve individuals experiencing homelessness. Helping create something that brings dignity and hope is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

2. Consider becoming a monthly donor

Starting January 1, I’m stepping into Indy Hygiene Hub as full-time staff. To make that possible, I need to raise the funds for my salary. If my friends each signed up to give monthly—even $5, $10, $20, up to $100—it would add up quickly and allow me to continue this work sustainably.

Your support, in any amount, truly means the world.

Indy Hygiene Hub (formerly Dotted Line Divas) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that supports families in need by supplying high-quality personal care and hygiene items.

We host a drive-thru pantry on the third Saturday of every month where we serve over 150 Indianapolis families. Families pull up in their cars and are handed a bag of hygiene items: shampoo, conditioner, body soap, bar soap, razor, deodorant, toilet paper, toothbrush, toothpaste, and if needed/available, cleaning supplies, diapers, wipes, pads, or tampons. What originally started as founder Christina utilizing extreme couponing to stockpile items out of her home has now expanded into a full pantry and board, eager to serve the Indianapolis community.
